THE PORSCHE 964

Representing a major step forward in the development of Porsche long-running and much loved 911 sports car, the Carrera 4 and Carrera 2 versions—code named "964"—were launched in 1989. The former marked the first time that four-wheel drive had been observed on a series-production 911. Porsche had experimented with four-wheel drive on the 959 supercar, and many of the lessons learned from the latter influenced the design of the 964's chassis and suspension. Face-lifted, but retaining that familiar shape, the newcomers had been given a more extensive work-over mechanically (87% of parts being claimed as entirely new). Its new Type M64 engine enabled the 964 to out-perform the old "3.2," yet still meet the latest emissions regulations. The top speed increased to 162mph with 60mph attainable in 5.4 seconds.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

This exceptionally original and fastidiously well-preserved 911 (or 964 as the model is referred to) C4 Cabriolet was completed at the Zuffenhausen based Porsche factory in July of 1990, as a 1991 model-year. The US market Porsche was delivered in January of 1992 through the Silver Spring, MD Porsche agency to a Mr. Robert Allen Smith in striking Indischrot over a light tan leather interior. Today the 964 remains in original and extremely well-kept condition, retaining its original exterior paint, interior and glass, and all factory applied decals in labels. The odometer reading of just 43,345 miles at the time of cataloging is well documented, and the car has remained in the Smith family since new. This Porsche retains much of its original accessories. Its Porsche CD player, owners and maintenance manuals, original sales invoice and service receipts, tools, jack, spare wheel and compressor, spare keys, keycard, and even a set of Porsche sheep skin protective covers for the front seats all are inclusive. Chassis 460083 represents an opportunity to attain a well-preserved example of the ever popular air-cooled 964 Carrera 4.
